Returning to the UK from Australia
Returning to the UK from Australia.
Having lived in Australia since January 2005, my wife and I have decided to return home to the UK in mid 2010. It's funny really, but when we headed over here in 2005 I was 36 years old and felt 'bullet proof'. No, I wasn't going to see much of my family for years at a time, not see the patchwork quilt of green fields, the deciduous woodland, hear the blackbirds chirping in the morning as they search for worms on the moist law. But that didn't matter, we were heading off into a new world of excitement and adventure. As long as myself, my wife and our children were together, nothing else mattered. WRONG !!
Well, not exactly wrong. In the beginning all was rosy, and life in a new country was an adventure. I studied at university and filled my time that way, we had a nice little house and the kids were happy at school. Not much has changed really, apart from us. We have started missing England very much over the last couple of years, and missing the chance to see family on a regular basis. We've been back 3 times, but the cost of getting back is huge, particularly when there are 4 of you. Missing the simple things about your true homeland is something that I didn't realize I was going to succumb to, not me, relatively tough emotionally, but I have.
I like to believe that there is something more to this than just a sense of missing the familiarity of sights and sounds that have played a role in the major part of one's life. I wonder if there is something deeper within us that ties us to our homeland. It's said that if you take city folk and put them in a forest they tend to feel very calm, is this some sort of primal awareness of our roots? I'd like to think so. But whatever the reason, the pull that Britain has on me is extraordinary.
We went back for 5 weeks this year, traveled to Scotland, Dorset and a few other beautiful locations, the Isle of Skye was particularly beautiful. I almost felt tearful sometimes as I gazed over my home country and realized how wondrous it was, almost like I had done it an injustice by moving away to somewhere 'better and more exciting'
Well, the decision is made, we're going to get our house ready and on the market in January 2010, sell up and move back. Any anticipation, well not really. It would be nice to get a good rate of exchange on our cash, and find a nice house. We currently own 4 acres, and would love to get a place in West Dorset on maybe half an acre. It'll be a place that needs work but space is important. Views over the beautiful Dorset or East Devon countryside are a must, it's only after you've left it that you come to realize that the British Isles, with all the issues of over population etc, are indeed some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. I can't wait to get home.
